Here is a list of Tests in which one side scored twice as many runs in
the first innings as the opponent and still went on to lost the match.
The side batting first is listed first. The ratio of the first innings
is in the first column.

4.15 SAf (311 & 99) lost to Aus (75 & 336-5) Durban 1949-50
2.96 Aus (284 & 47) lost to SAf (96 & 236-2) Cape Town 2011-12

Another unusual feature is that Clarke scored more in the first innings
than South Africa; this has happened at least twice before as EAB Rowan
scored 143 at Durban in 1949-50 and RA McLean scored 142 at Lord's in 1955.
